This is a perfectly succinct example of two of the Aggies' favorite rhetorical shams: (1) they love to borrow the success of better teams in the conference and associate it with themselves. It wasn't "the SEC" that won 13 national championships in 17 seasons - pretty sure that was teams like Bama, Georgia, and Florida. (2) No matter which conference we're in or who is on our schedule, it will never be "good enough" for A&M. Even if we're in the same fucking conference and they're literally on the schedule, they will create whatever facts they need to establish that we play a soft schedule and they play a hard schedule. Even if we played the exact same fucking teams, A&M would surely be catching those teams while they're peaking, while we play the same teams at a low point. It's honestly impressive.
Unfortunately, I think A&M will win this year. But I do love how the Aggies always pencil in the MSU game as a win on their schedule when they have lost 6 out of the last 10 games against MSU. It's amazing how they measure their history in terms of aspirations and potential, rather than actual performance.
